Theory: Biden is intentionally generating a border crises as a way of leveraging progressives into an immigration deal that includes border security.

More: They did everything the progressives have wished for so that the insanity of their desires could be exposed and the political impact would be obvious leading to a deal where their voices are diminished.
I realize this is a pretty elaborate theory but I think it’s possible.
Setting aside the whole microphone abnormality, this comment aligns with my theory.
@RonColeman, primarily the issue I have with Pence is that after December 14 vote of the electoral college, Pence got on stage multiple times and elevated expectations specifically for what could happen on 1/6. Up to the Monday before in GA.
Then after a report saying Pence told Trump he couldn’t do anything at lunch on 1/5, Trump released a statement contradicting the report and again raising expectations and stating he and Pence were on the same page.
1/ The reality is that when Boehner and McConnell joined the Democrats in 2010, to thwart the impact of the tea party, they broke trust with the base.
2/ Then in 2014, after the base rallied to two consecutive establishment Presidential candidates that threw the elections to Obama, we still turned out to hand Ryan the House and Mitch the Senate and they again betrayed us by immediately capitulating to DACA.
3/ In 2016 the base no longer viewed the Republican establishment as representing their interests. Every admonition to reject Trump was ignored because we no longer trusted our political leaders.
